My Reflections
Posted by Ken Wood on 26/7/2025, 10:27 am
Hi everyone, good to be back on my road to getting better after a few health problems, now hopefully recovering. My reflections looking at all these very interesting comments, made me think what my thoughts would be, would anyone think I was outspoken, I am indeed slightly eccentric in regards to electronics and my view on this world today, hopefully, these thoughts will not offend anyone, as all are without prejudice, firstly, after my stay in various hospitals, receiving in my view, to staff, Nurses, Doctors, Consultants, each and everyone, giving me, life-saving attention to the highest degree, yet we are paying staff, now called resident doctors ( used to be young doctors) a salary on average £18 per hour (estimated) whilst an HGV driver some earning over £1200 per week! is approx £30 per hour, look at plumbers or bricklayers, all on over £1000 per week, whilst the resident doctors are working maybe twice the hours. Secondly. Immigration, one wonders, I have worked in Europe for over 30 years, mainly in Germany and have seen the transition over those years of that country, that transition from Germans employing immigrants as cheaper labour, but the downside was that those labourers then became team leaders, then bosses, then only employing immigrants and not Germans and that is now not a happy place, some were saying if they require citerzenship they must do 3 years in the armed forces if between 18 -40 years of age, I wonder if many boats would be going the other way if we said the same, lastly my sadness to admit my love of cycling and photography that increasing the weight of it carrying me this has made me to give way to adding a small electric drive system to my bike, all courtesy of "Electric Bike Shed" South Shields, and my hard earned savings, the system is very safe,unlike all these other electric bikes add-ons I reasearched, my research was deep as to regards the lithium battery problems, this system has many safety additional measures, that makes it the safest I have researched, I stil have to pedal, it just helps me when required, it is called "PAS" pedal assist system, as explained my eccentricity with electronics, my bike I caLL "My Mule" is fitted with so many electronic monitoring devices, including, Heart ,Blood Pressure, , together with miles, speed, GPS, it even has an emergency system if I have problems fall ill,or If I fall off etc, it calls my family explaining my location and problems. That is my reflection, and very long and probably boring to read, hope you enjoy, or maybe click to read another of my mate Normans great forum , take care and thanks.
